Bran muffin, really? My overly anal surgeon is afraid that if I accidentally swallow gum it could plug the stomach opening. Mind you, I'm 39 yrs old and haven't swallowed gum since I was 4. I'm missing my gum

Bufflehead, When we're you sleeved and how is your weight loss going? I hate my surgeon & her staff, but that's another post I think that's wise, for the nerves etc and to feel restriction properly, I'm still struggling to understand my own restriction, hoping it gets easier

I'm 3 weeks post op and haven't been able to hit my protein goal of 60-80grams. Well yesterday I made it!! Got in 74grams and felt great all day, wasn't hungrier than normal.....just had to share

I doubt that, I just have really been focusing on the Protein bc prior to that I was hungry all the time, now I feel satisfied

So I started at 314, now down to 274, but the scale has stopped moving completely. I've been at 274 for over a week and I'm soooo frustrated. I only weigh myself on Friday mornings.....how long does this stall last? I'm cleared to start working out again on Monday, can't wait and hoping that will help

So I'm only eating when I get hungry, but sometimes I feel so hungry, that after2-3 bites of egg say, my stomach still feels hungry, so I keep eating, waiting to get satisfied, but I have missed satisfied s a few times and hit too full. Tonight, I had scrambled eggs with melted cheese, about 1cup, but by the time I finished them, I still felt hungry, so I had a few too many bites of potatoes and hit the pukey feeling. Help!! At what point do you stop eating? Ho often do you et throughout the day? I feel limited t this point bc I'm only on oureeds, not much variety....can't do refried bens, can't tolerate them t this point

Bufflehead, did you find you lost more weight out of the gate, staying on liquids longer than 2weeks?

Notsotall, I have the same lift restrictions, can't wait until I'm cleared to work out with my trainer again

My NUT told me I should be at 900 calories at this point and I thought she was crazy:) they want me t 1200 calories by the solid food phase. Anyway, my calories increased to 1000, now that I'm focusing on getting my protein in. 2scoops of whey is 340 calorie. I'm hoping the gradual increase in calories will break this stall I'm in. My protein requirements re 60-80grams daily and I'm on the upper end of protein as I add it to everything

Belunos, Congrats on breaking through that stall.im still in mine at week 3

Jong, I buy it at Walmart. It's called Body Fortess super advanced whey protein, I get it in chocolate & vanilla. Then I buy my unflavored from GNC and it's for Bariatric patients

Jlong007, I start my day with scrambled eggs with cheese 1/2cup, then I sipped on a protein shake ALL day with 2scoops of protein it's 60grams, then I had Wendy's small chili and added 1/2scoop unflavored protein powder This gave me 84 grams, 64 was a typo

Jujube, my people won't allow caffeine until ay later, every program i SOOO different

Big Girl Panties,Thx, I just bought cauliflower today and am going to try it....yum, I'm ready for a little variety

Mcbutterpants, My poke feels exactly as you describe but on the right side

Just to let you know, I just added 1/2cup unflavored protein powder to the chili and blended it together and it made it a little thicker than just running the chili through the blender

Ran my first attempt ate Wendy's chili through the blender and while it looks disgusting, it tastes amazing!! My NUT said no tomato sauce until mechanical soft, but I couldn't wait, so sick of scrambled eggs.....anyway Y, taking it slow and listening closely to my body

Miss Mac, how much protein powder to peaNut butter ratio do u use?

Yes my husbaNd is a stick, can eat whatever he wants, get on the treadmill once a year and still just weighs 160

Teachamy, did u blend your cottage cheese while on oureeds?

Thank you everyone!! I'm just a really impatient person, something God is working on in me.....I know losing 140lbs isn't going to happen overnight, but I'd be lying if I didn't say I wish it did

Sassy pants, Why do these stalls happen?

Passent, I can have potatoes on my diet. I think everyone's surgeon's requirements are way different

Mcbutterpants, Good points, thx! The only serving size I was given was 1/2 c scrambled eggs is fine. And eat 3 meals and 2 snacks and I should be eating 900 calories T this point. Now I've had more of my protein shake today and I'm not hungry at all tonight, which up to today I would be super hungry at this point, so I think protein intake is my key

Oh and I can't have peanut butter yet
